✦ Synopsis
The objective of this study was to characterize the projection pattern and electrophysiological properties of the rostral medullary adrenergic neurons (C 1 ) that express neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA in rat. NPY mRNA was found in a variable fraction of tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactive (TH-IR) neurons depending on the medullary level. By retrograde labeling (Fast Blue, FluoroGold), NPY mRNA was detected in virtually all C 1 cells (96%) and C 3 cells
